Introducing The Hidden Plague

I’m excited to announce the release of Primal Blueprint Publishing’s latest offering, The Hidden Plague. Longtime readers of Mark’s Daily Apple will recognize the author’s name: Tara Grant. Tara was one of the first and biggest success stories – her story still ranks among the most popular of them all – on the blog. With the help of Primal living, she was able to beat PCOS, lose over eighty pounds, overcome depression, and put a nasty, little-understood autoimmune skin condition called Hidradenitis suppurativa into remission.

Exactly how she overcame Hidradenitis suppurativa, or HS for short, is the subject of The Hidden Plague. It’s a harrowing tale. Since there isn’t any real research on the condition and doctors were no help, their only instinct being to throw tests and drugs at it and hope something stuck, Tara had to figure it all out herself.

Millions of people suffer from HS in the United States, but it’s a hidden epidemic of silent sufferers ashamed of their condition and made to feel hopeless by modern medicine’s failure to help, or completely unaware that they have HS. Tara chronicles her painstaking journey through forty doctors offices across two continents, piles of antibiotics, and a dozen different treatments, none of which panned out. It was only through diligent research, daring self-experimentation, and careful documentation that she was able to put her hidradenitis suppurativa into remission – where it has remained.

Even if you don’t have HS, The Hidden Plague will help you or anyone you know suffering from an autoimmune condition. All autoimmune disease is ultimately caused by intestinal permeability (leaky gut) and gut dysbiosis, and the protocols Tara describes for dealing with HS will help figure out or even treat any other autoimmune condition you might suffer from. The Hidden Plague explains exactly how to heal your ailing gut and stop the problem at its source through diet and lifestyle, not drugs and doctors.
